Transmission Pan Gasket
Does FelPro make a Perma-dry gasket for the trans pan?
I have a persistant leak from the front right that's pizzing me off! I replaced it with a standard FelPro rubber, but I still get the occasional drip.
The Perma-dry gasket I put on the engine oil pan is fantastic! I was hoping there was an alternative.

i put the top of the line from car quest,,it has a metal body inside the gasket to keep it from seating incorrectly.....i do not have a drip or a film on my pan and its a aftermarket deep b& m pan w/ drain plug and its chrome which have a tendency to have leaks,,,i roughed the lip on the pan in a crosshatch pattern w/ 80 grit sandpaper before installing carquest gasket

What trans do you have?
I tried the FelPro Perma-Dry on my TH400 after two unsuccessful attempts to seal. Finally switched to a cast aluminum pan and the FelPro Perma-Dry...with a light dusting of gasket stickum...the bastard still leaks.

Just a thought..I had a leak coming from my transmission not too long ago and I thought it was a pan gasket. It turned out to be a combination of 3 little leaks: dipstick tube, kickdown cable, and tailshaft.
